Wink White Trucks??

My Late '99 is basicly White, it came from the factory White and had a conversion package put on by Elite Industries out of Georgia which I believe is now out of business.
Anyway on the inside of my front doors on the upper-front area there is a yellow stain (I call it) caused (I think) by the Black weatherstrip-its kind of a triangle pattern, I have tried usual household cleaners and some light compounds and nothing seems to touch this stain in the paint.
Anyone have this and know how to remove it w/o hurting the paint?? Thanks!!

I have the same stains on the interior of my doors you speak of.

I have not found anything that will remove the stains.

Im thinking the stains may be under the clear coat.

Hopefully by you asking the question, Somebody may have the answer.

You guys sure it isn't rust?

I have found that go-jo, goop, and I believe fast orange hand cleaner takes all kinds of stuff (mainly stains) off paint of all colors. I have used both strait and pumice.

Thanks guys for the replies and suggestions!! I think I'll try some GO-JO with the pumice to see if it will cut the stain.
-Glad I'm not alone on this.

Rick, anyone who has seen your truck would know that there are no stains ANYWHERE on it...

Thanks Frank.

When I race my truck, I sometimes get a stain, but not on the truck.

Remember the Baytown GTG? I think all of us came close to making some stains...

My silver 99 had them. I only had it until 04 so they started pretty early on. I would guess by now they are permanent.
